Devotional: Exodus 20

Today’s passage: Exodus 20

Helpful thoughts:

  • After receiving the commitment of the people in chapter 19 to follow Him and do what He says, the Lord gives His people the Ten Commandments.
  • God spoke in a way that all the people could hear.  They saw the mountain, the smoke/darkness, the lightning.  They heard the thunder and the voice of God.  They felt the ground shake beneath their feet.  They were filled with awe and fear.
    • Once they experienced what it was like to be near to God or to hear from Him, they preferred to get God’s messaged delivered to them through Moses!
  • Once the initial Ten Commandments were given, the Lord began to expound further with Moses.  Verse 22 is the beginning of the rest of the Law.

Questions to consider:

  1. What are the Ten Commandments?  Which ones relate to a person’s (And a people’s) relationship with God?  Which ones relate to people’s relationships with each other?
  2. In what way do the Ten Commandments articulate the greatest commandments, to love the Lord your God and to love your neighbor as yourself?
  3. What does this list of commandments confirm we all need? (Romans 3:23-26)  What has God lovingly and graciously done for us?  How should His love compel us to pursue obedience going forward?
